Steaks are high at Cleaver Shed

I was hankering for steak for my birthday and discovered one of the most competitive pricing for this at Cleaver Shed in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, KL. Bustling on a weekend, I was lucky to have reserved a table. You can also bring your own wine (corkage RM30) as they don’t have their own wine list. 

We kicked off the meal with a whole baked camembert to go with sour dough which made a great appetiser. A little pricey at RM38 but it was so good! Have not seen this offered elsewhere as usually you just get small pieces of cheese as a starter. 

Main star for dinner – the Argentinian striploin – grain-fed Angus striploin seared just about right, still pink in the centre (RM69) – value for money, and served simple with the meat as the main star. Surf and turf (RM83) had this same steak plus ak plus a number of large grilled prawns. Fresh and firm flesh, plus a good portion of meat, a good deal.

The super tender and moist NZ lamb was a pleasant surprise, super tender and one of the tastiest I’ve ever had (RM75). 

The meats came with a selection of housemade sauces – chimichurri, black pepper, garlic aioli, bernaise and smoked bbq. They were all very good, but my money is on the garlic aioli! 

The seabass was commendable but the meats took centre stage here. There’s also a choice of Sanchoku Wagyu or Angus tomahawk for the serious meat eater. 

Cleaver Shed turned out to be a pretty good bet for steak and easy on the pocket, so everyone was happy!
